I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.

I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.

First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.

The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock.... As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.

Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.

No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.

He thinks it's his day, and when you think it's your day, it usually is.
